Outside the Box Catering and Events Inc.

Outside the Box Catering and Events Inc. is a Chicago-based catering company serving events ranging from corporate lunches to wedding receptions, founded by Tameka Jones in 2018. The company specializes in soul food cuisine, including dishes such as fried chicken, mac and cheese, collard greens, honey BBQ chicken, and catfish po'boys, with vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, nut-free, and shellfish-free options available. Services include full-service catering, drop-off catering, bar service, staffing, rentals, and day-of coordination. Outside the Box has been serving Chicago and surrounding suburbs since 2018, with a team carrying over 20 years of combined culinary expertise and a founder whose hospitality background began in 2009. Based at 444 W Lake St in Chicago's West Loop, the company serves downtown Chicago neighborhoods including the Loop, River North, Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Wicker Park, Bucktown, and Hyde Park, as well as suburbs such as Oak Park, Evanston, Naperville, Joliet, and Bolingbrook throughout the greater Chicagoland area. Wedding clients highlight the quality of both food and service, including the team's ability to adapt on the fly when a cocktail hour had to move indoors due to rain, though at least one reviewer reports a no-show without prior notice.
